And then your kids do something that puts a smile on your face and pulls you out of the sad cycle of self pity. And that pity disappears straight away as you bask in the unspoilt, innocent love they have to give you tenfold.
Its been a while since Ive posted anything but now on this quiet Sunday night, with the kids in bed, I finally find the time to post a little about whats been going on with everyone the past ten days.
The last time you all heard, Kyla and Maddy were temporary invalids. Kyla was home for a couple of days but Maddisyn ended up staying home for nine week days!! And she drove me nuts. Im sure that she loved the permenant frown and stern words that were fixed on my face for that whole period! I was practically begging her doc to let me send her back to daycare.
In that week Ethan and my nephew Treagan also picked up this terrible virus that bascically had me cleaning up vomit and poo nonstop while trying to keep fluids up and keep temps down. The horrible thing about virul infections is that you cant give them meds to kill it, you just have to let the body do it, while you clean up the mess yuck. And the craziest thing is that Maddisyn didnt catch it.
Then AJ and our flatmate Nathan both got the flu from working in the rain and walking in the rain and playing in the rain. So they were miserable and grumpy for a couple of days. So as a reward for putting up with everyone during their sickness, Andrew has insisted I take a weekend away for myself, away from him, and the kids, and the house. Im going to get my sister to come with me to a dayspa that Ive found up in the sunshine coast. Im so looking forward to a few days away.
Our beloved cat has been taken to kitty heaven. Poor thing had developed kidney failure and had to be put to sleep. We found out that he was probly sick when we got him and through tracking his vet checks from before we got him, found out that he had been put on a special diet etc to control it, but the bloody owner before us hadnt told us. I was so pissed that I rang her and nutted out. How bloody cruel and irresponsible, not to mention devestating for Katy who adored him. Though it felt like we were trading Tellis in for a healthier version, we got a 13wk old kitten for Katy who she has called Timmy.
Kyla is doing great at school. She has pleased her dad by making quite a few GIRLfriends but has countered that by taking him aside on Friday and asking him about a boy she wants to have as her boyfriend. He was pretty much stunned and then ended the conversation by saying he had to think about it. At least she came to him aye. We are looking into getting microchips implanted in the kids hands. It is a great fear for us that something will happen to one of them and it seems to be happening so regularly now where kids get snatched off the streets. And something that has propelled this line of thought to the foreground is the fact that Kyla is turning into a mallrat (hanging out at the mall after school). We cant really stop her, she so wants to continue fitting in so we give her the oppurtunity to do so twice a week.
Liam is going along great guns as well, loving life. Its so beautiful to watch happy kids enjoy life and love.
Well Im hoping now that everyone has been mended, I can finally go back to my original plan and get around to getting a job and re-educating myself. It will be so refreshing and something that Im so looking forward to finally being able to do YEEHA
